A Balanced Week

This past week has been a good one as I feel as though I’ve accomplished a range of things and balanced everything I’ve wanted to achieve. There’s been a bit of socialising, a bit of fun, a bit of entertaining, a bit of cleaning, some cooking and baking, some organising and some crafting. If only every week could be like this!

My housework time this week saw me put aside a few tasks like vacuuming the bedrooms and instead, I organised our linen cupboard (one of the tasks I said was bugging me back here). It feels so nice to open its door and see everything all nicely arranged on its shelves where it is easy to locate. I've even labelled everything which may seem a bit over the top, but I figure it will stop Paul’s excuse of ‘I don’t know where it is’ when I ask him to get something out.

Also, each day, I’ve worked a little bit on finishing off Grace’s 1st Year Photo Album, something which was actually on my list of goals for 2011 and which I am please to say has now been accomplished. The monthly tags I used on each page were from Elle's Studio on Etsy. Here are a few of my favourite pages…

How has your week been? Which task are you proud to say you’ve completed?

Sounds like a good week Amanda, as you say, a good balance of activities. The only thing I achieved this week was finally finishing off a necklace order for the gallery. They have been waiting for a long time. It's a relief to have it done!X

Hi Amanda, it sounds like you have had a fabulous week and have accomplished so much...isn't it a great feeling! I have been catching up on your posts and I love your Moroccan pouf and the fabrics you have for your sweet Grace's quilt look so beautiful. I can't believe I have missed so much, I am so sorry. I hope this coming week is just as wonderful for you, sweet lady. Sending huge hugs to you and your little Grace ~ Txx

Oh you sound like you had a great productive week Amanda, it feels so good when that happens. I have been avoiding my housework lately which is bad, must vaccuum and clean the bathroom....but it's just too cold to move away from the heater! Hope you had a great weekend : )

I love accomplishing lots of things. And the album looks GORGEOUS! I really should finish Will's 1st yr album too. I think that's a great idea to label things, no excuses of 'where is it again?' hehehhee... I'm glad you had a great week. I hope this one is just as good!Jxx

You had a week of nesting instinct! That's a beauty of pregnancy. :) I would love to have a week like that!! I haven't completed my second daughter's first year album and seeing Grace's made me realize I need to work on it!!!! Thanks for the reminder! :)
